“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. ” C.S. Lewis

This sounds like BS to me.... Kidnapping is against the law and carries stiff penalties.

The goal of these concentration camps is to beat "the gay" out of them. It's legal because homophobic parents sign over legal documents allowing them to go to these camps to "cure" their homosexuality. They are not allowed to leave these camps and are regularly tortured, they are also banned from speaking about the outside world. According to some testimonies, the teenagers tried to rebel against their Nazi overseers, but were gunned down with rubber bullets.

Please don't blame the entire United States for these crimes against humanity. In Utah (and Jamaica, which is where one of the concentration camps is located) teenagers lack the same basic human rights as adults and Utah is known for being predominantly Mormon. For those of you who don't know, Mormonism is a radical far right wing sect of Christianity that often does outrageous things and promotes incest, inbreeding, and now apparently the kidnapping & false imprisonment of minors. This is legal because the companies involved "donated" large sums of money to many politicians and the leader of one of the concentration camp operating companies, World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools, is a close personal friend of many politicians, including Mitt Romney.

Mormons, no offense to you religious people, are a bunch of morons that believe what one guy said one day in America that everyone should believe. That's it. If you believe in that crap, you are simply believing what your family taught you to believe when you were growing up. Now that you are an adult, and now that you can read this message board, try doing some research on faith, and religion, and making your own decision. Only reason you are Mormon is because mommy and daddy were.

You need to read the rest of the story. It's not anti-gay, it's a troubled youth camp.

From reading the girls story kidnapping is an exageration. The guys showed up, said her mom was sending her off to the same camp that her brother had been sent to, packed her bags, and took her through the airport.

She just went along. I'm sure that, especially in the airport, she could have made a stink and gotten cops involved or whatever.

So not kidnapping. Child abuse or child endangerment? Probably. From the wiki it sounds like the whole operation has folded under litigation, so this is mostly a historical discussion. Though I suppose something similar may have just popped up to fill the void.

Well, it was certainly a troubled youth camp.

And the teen in telling her story certainly had some issues. She mentions drugs, but implies more.

Regardless that doesn't mean they didn't also have an anti-gay mentality. Though I suppose the OP is being a bit dramatic with the thread title.
